i was on the 16th day of my abstaining challenge and was looking around MP and Solotouch when i realised i had a semi hardon. i started stroking it through my trousers a bit and in about 30 seconds i was as hard as a rock so i decided enough was enough and i had to masturbate. i stripped down naked and got some lube out of my cupboard along with a shampoo bottle and my vibrator from my cock ring. i broight some porn up and lubed up my cock, balls and asshole and started to stroke. after just a few short strokes i was already on the verge of cumming so i swapped hands and stroked slowly while i inserted 2 fingers into my ass. wow that felt good. after a couple of mins of this i had the shampoo bottle in my ass and the vibrator on the ridge of my cockhead and it felt like i was already riding the wave of orgasm. after a few different porn vids i stuck to a vid of a blonde girl giving a hot blowjob to a huge cock and sat back to stroke some more. after 15 mins of this i couldnt hold back no longer and had to cum. as i stroked faster and faster i reached orgasm and plunged the shampoo bottle deep into my arse while i held the vibrator on my balls. a huge splurge of really liquidy clear fluid shot out of my cock like a hose followed by 5 or 6 big strings of white hot cum. the feeling was un describable and lasted a good 15- 20 seconds. after i finished i sat there out of breath cum all over my belly and chest. those 16 hard days were worth the wait.

I've tried abstaining before but I couldn't ): it was really hard. The most days I've ever gone without J/O is 3 days lol I hope to do it one day though because I always thought it would be worth while!

I'm currently 25 days into an attempt at abstinence, going for 4 weeks, which will take me to Friday. I've managed to resist easy enough, only a couple of times I got very tempted, but still resisted the urge. This is the longest I've gone without since I first started to masturbate when I was 13. The longest I've managed before was about 10 days.
I'm doing it mostly because I was sick of spending so much time sat at my pc doing it, and to see how much self control I have - seems to be more than I thought! Now that I know I can control myself I intend to just limit myself to masturbating a couple of times a week, and then only on weekends.

As much as I enjoy masturbation, as I've grown older, the urge isn't as great as it once was. Several years ago, I was in Europe visiting friends and relatives and I didn't masturbate for, I'd say, three weeks. One evening I decided I needed a good jack off session. So I sat down in front of the door of my bedroom and started stroking. Again, as I've grown older, it's more difficult to keep an erection, and things didn't happen fast. But ultimately I had one of the most memorable jack off moments of my life: There was a volcanic eruption of cum. I couldn't believe the amount; I remember its rolling down my hand. The next night I had an equally good eruption. I've always wanted to have the experience again, but I've never been able to hold out for three weeks, much less a few days.

Seriously - it's like avoiding any habit you want to break. Identify the times you feel especially horny and make sure you're doing something else then. When you realize you're horny, change what you're thinking about.

I didn't plan it deliberately but I'm on day 8 of a "break" - my sister's staying with me in my (tiny) apartment. I don't sit down in my boxers at the computer - which immediately takes away the easy access to both dick and porn. Boxers are bad for self-control anyway - too much room to bone up. Tighty-whities to the rescue!

Cold showers and hard exercise help... even after my sister heads home I'm gonna try to cut back some myself. New rule: I can't get off if I haven't exercised in the past 12 hours. That'll either get me to the gym more or killing fewer kittens, or both. It's hard to avoid 'cause you're full of hormones - go channel that into something more productive, take away the easy opportunities and the rest is just a tiny bit of willpower. (Did this in college for a while to try to get wet dreams - it worked after about 2 weeks or so.)

mistr8dude is right. It helps if you don't think about masturbating at all. The longest I went was 1 year. I ended up having some very memorable wet dreams. (I was half-asleep for them, but it seems to me that I've never dumped as much cum in one orgasm as I did for the wet dreams.)

Personally I went without for a year to see if I could. I had some self-confidence issues and wanted to know how much of me was pure animal instinct and how much of me was free to choose my actions. It turns out: it's a lot of both, and I'm still wondering exactly where the line is, but at least I know that when it comes to masturbating, the line is after 1 year!

But now when I hear people say: "men can't help themselves" I can reply: "You don't give us enough credit".

Cold showers *are* pretty uncomfortable, but they don't have to last long.

It all boils down to - avoid situations that stimulate you physically, and do something to "change the channel" when you start feeling horny.

I guess it's all pretty individual. Sometimes I manage to exercise long enough that I kinda tire myself out, other times I can at least get my mind off my crotch. Sometimes it makes me horny, too. Too bad we don't come with an "instant off" button.
